Difference between Business Everyday vs Business Saver?
I understand that both are capacity controlled, but with Business Everyday the chances of not getting a business class seat are much less.
A Business Saver is 80k miles and a Business Everyday is 175k! Almost double.
How can the same business class have such a huge variation?
Is there a high chance of having to sit in Economy if I opt for the Business Saver seat?
If you get bumped down a class, do they refund your mileage points?

The good news is that there is functionally no difference in the product you'll get if you book a Business Everyday award vs a Business Saver award. The only difference is in availability - there is less saver space available.
If you see a Business Saver award available on the route you want - book it!
A downgrade is very unlikely, and would be covered by downgrade compensation. Once you have a ticketed reservation, you're good to go.
